Chapter 61 : New Swordsmith Village The trip to the Swordsmith Village was originally planned for the next day ...

The trip to the swordsmith village originally scheduled for the second day was moved to the third day .

Bo Ye Zhu had no objection to the real person 's closeness , but it was obvious that the curse spirit was in a bad state . It seemed to be wandering between reality and illusion , and its eyes were more terrifying than before .

But strangely , he can maintain his daily behavior and has no problem communicating with people .​

The answer was flawless . When Bo Ye Zhu told him to go to the swordsmith village , he just nodded and had no opinion .

Seeing that he couldn't recover for a while , Bo Ye Zhu wondered whether to wait for him to wake up or go to the swordsmith village first .

But he soon made up his mind to go to the sword -forging village first .

The new sword- forging village is about forty miles away from the old site . It is even more desolate and secluded . Logically , there are few such places near Tokyo Prefecture , but this place is closer to the west , and for some reasons , the abandoned factories and railways have not been dealt with in time , and it has become increasingly deserted over time .

The autumn sun is still scorching , especially at noon . Zhenren holds an umbrella for Bo Yezhu as they shuttle through the mountains and forests , with a crow overhead leading the way .

He stared intently at the Boyezhu in front of him , his eyes reluctant to even give to other things .

It 's really Azhu , Azhu ... I like it so much ...

Bo Ye Zhu walked in front . He lowered his head to look at the simple map that Yin gave him before he went out . From time to time, he looked up at the surrounding plants and muttered how far it was to get there .

He had become oblivious to the gaze of the real person .

They reached the foot of a mountain . Bo Yezhu looked up at the winding staircase , his eyes lighting up . " This should be it . "

The stairs are covered with moss . It's okay on a sunny day , but if it 's raining , you can imagine how slippery they are. In addition , they are not flat and there is nothing to lean on on both sides , so it is still quite difficult to go up .

As the two climbed the stairs , Uroba Nagisa said , " Go up from here , then walk across a bridge ... Why is there a bridge on the mountain ? Well , after crossing the bridge , there 's an abandoned tunnel that leads to the Swordsmith Village . "

" I'll go talk to Mr. Kotsugu about the new Nichirin sword first . I 'll stay here for a while . I heard that other pillars will also be moving to the swordsmith village . Plus , since we've moved to a new place , the ghosts nearby do n't seem to have been fully explored yet , so we'll need swordsmen to hunt ghosts at night . "

As he spoke , he looked at the steep stairs . The real person responded from behind . Because there were many trees on both sides and the shadows were cast , the real person put away his umbrella .

Compared to the previous Sword Forging Village , the new Sword Forging Village is much more difficult to enter , but for powerful ghosts , this only delays their entry .​​

Half an hour later , Bo Ye Zhu looked at the door with the big words " Swordsmith Village " written on it and breathed a sigh of relief . He finally arrived .

Swordsmiths wearing masks , including children living here , walked along the path , as well as some swordsmen and hermits .​

The houses were all newly built , most of them bungalows . Bo Ye Zhu stopped one of the masked children and asked with a smile , " Excuse me, where does the village chief live ? "

The child pointed to the end of the path , where there were a few trees planted , hiding the house , so Bo Ye Zhu didn't notice it at first .

" Okay , thank you . "

Bo Ye Zhu stood up and led Zhenren over there . There were not many swordsmen coming to the Sword Forging Village , but it was not uncommon , so everyone was still busy with their own things .

The sound of " ding ding ding " of hammers hitting materials was heard , and smoke rose up and dissipated under the scorching sun .

The village chief , Tetsuchi Heyuan Tetsujin , was in his house when he heard someone coming outside . He came out to see two young swordsmen and asked , " Are you here to get your swords ? "​​

Bo Ye Zhu : " I'm looking for Mr. Gang You . I'll be staying in the Swordsmith Village for the time being , responsible for the nearby ghost hunting missions . Oh , and I 'm a C-class swordsman , Bo Ye Zhu . "

Poking the blue -haired young man beside him with his slender finger , Bo Ye Zhu continued , " He 's a real person , a Class A swordsman . "

The two high-level swordsmen were there . The village chief 's voice softened , and he chuckled , " I 'll take you to the vacant houses later . There are still quite a few . Mr. Gangtieyou is moving ore from the back mountain . "

The new site also produces ore for forging the Sun Wheel Sword , but the output is not as high as the old site . However, the old site has been mined for so many years and requires deep underground mining , so mining at the new site is much easier .

The village chief returned to the house and heard voices . Bo Yezhu looked over and found that the person who was talking to the village chief was blocked by the door and he could not see clearly .

After a while , the village chief came out and took them to find a place to stay .

A lot of houses were built in the new swordsmith village . The village chief pointed to a row of empty buildings and said that they were all used by the swordsmen and hermits who came to the swordsmith village . The pillar -level swordsmen had separate residences and did not live with them .

" Come to think of it , Lord Kasumi - sama is here today too . " After finding a place to stay , the village chief led them to the house where Steel Right forged the Sun Rin Sword , saying as he did so .

Bo Yezhu had been to the old site before . He looked around and asked , " It feels much bigger here than before . "

" Yes , it 's about half the size of the mountain , " the village chief smiled . " And this side is more secluded , and the land is fertile . In short , we should n't have any problems being self-sufficient . "

" There 's no electricity here , so we need candles or something . " He stopped in front of a house with a sign hanging in front of the door that read : Steel Right .

Two meters away , there is another house with the words " Tetsuzuka Hotaru " written on it .

The swordsmiths forged their Nichirin swords here . As they approached , they could faintly sense the intense heat . Uroba Nagisa asked , " Are the other swordsmen also responsible for hunting demons ? "

" Ah , that 's not the case . They are here to take the Nichirin Sword . How could someone who doesn't take good care of the Nichirin Sword get it so easily ! " The village chief clenched his fist .

Uzumaki Nagisa : … …​

He felt a little guilty .

" But it seems that the two of you will be responsible for clearing out the evil spirits , along with Master Kasumi -sama . I 'm sure you can do it . "

The village chief thought that a genius pillar - level swordsman , an A-level swordsman , and a C-level swordsman were all swordsmen who could lead a team independently , and they were more than enough to deal with the ghosts that might not have been cleared away nearby .

As the two were talking , a cheerful voice interrupted : " You guys are here ! "​

Bo Yezhu turned his head and found that it was Gangtieyou who was carrying a basket of stones . The mask on his face was easy to identify , and there was an extra black print on his right cheek .

Gangtieyou's voice was a little rough , but he was only in his early twenties , about a year younger than Bo Yezhu , but he had been a formal swordsmith for eight years .

In other words, when Gangtie You was only twelve years old , he had already left his apprenticeship and became a swordsmith .

Over the past eight years , he has forged hundreds of Nichirin swords , each with a sturdy blade , beautiful shape , moderate weight , and one more thing - not suitable for left-handed people .

" Long time no see , Mr. Gangtieyou . " Bo Ye Zhu greeted him .

When the village chief saw Gangtieyou coming back , he said goodbye , saying that he still had to deal with Lord Xiazhu 's housing issue .

Gangtieyou watched the village chief walk away , then turned back to look at Boyezhu . He glanced at Zhenren , who was as silent as air , but didn't care . He said to Boyezhu , " I know you guys will be coming over soon . I was free today and brought back some new stone . Would you like to pick some ? "

The temperature in the house was too high and there was a shadow in front of the door , so Tietieyou simply took off the basket and put it on the ground .

Bo Yezhu waved his hand : " I do n't understand these things . You choose . "

" You said before that the Sun Blade was a bit heavy . I 've weighed this batch of stones and found them to be much lighter than the ore from the old site ... Do you want to change to a different style ? " Steel Right said as he grabbed a smaller piece of stone .

Bo Ye Zhu : " The blade needs to be a little thinner . The handle is just right , no need to modify it . "

Steel Right : " Speed is key with a scissor blade . How much has your speed improved ? "

Even with the mask on , Bo Ye Zhu could still feel Gangtie You 's gaze . He smiled awkwardly and said , " I 've made some progress . "

Gangtieyou remained silent , looking at the real person behind him . " What about the real person ? Is he going to forge a new sword ? ... Is the one I forged last time still here ? "

Bo Ye Zhu touched his nose . If he remembered correctly , the real person 's Nichirin Sword was lying in some corner of his room . It must have been almost a year .

" No need . " Zhenren was still looking at Bo Yezhu . After hearing Gangtieyou 's words , he moved his gaze away a little and said .

After a brief exchange about the Nichirin Sword , Gangtieyou had a clear mind and waved his hand to let them go . He continued to work .

" We probably have to fight four more Sun Wheel Swords . Ah , what happened to you ? You broke them all at once . " He said angrily . It would be fine if only one person broke his sword , but since everyone 's sword had problems , he couldn't say anything .

He has been staying up late these days to make seven or eight new knives !

Bo Ye Zhu blinked : " Maybe there are more ghosts . "​​​

After bidding farewell to Gangtuoyou , the two men walked towards their residence . Uroba Nagisa said to Masahiro , " Mr. Gangtuoyou may be young , but his swordsmithing skills are excellent and his efficiency is quite high . "

Compared to other swordsmiths who put their emotions into carving carefully and are determined to forge the best swords , Gangtouyou is simply a walking sword - forging machine . The Nichirin sword production line perfectly caters to the needs of grassroots swordsmen .

It can be said that Steel Right is in charge of the most swordsmen .

They had not gone far when a child ran over and said , " Master Xiazhu wants you to pass . "

Bo Yezhu was slightly stunned . The child had already led them the way .

Xiazhu 's residence was far away from the village . They had to walk along a tree -lined path to see the small house , which had five or six rooms . They saw the boy with mint green hair standing outside the door at a glance .

Tokito Muichiro watched the two approach and approached them , saying , " The lord said he would be patrolling an area approximately twenty miles away . Other swordsmen will be arriving in the next few days . "

He thought for a moment . " About twenty . "

Bo Ye Zhu was surprised . So many people came ?

Tokito Muichiro : " These swordsmen also need to train . Do you want to join us ? "

" Ah ... no . " Bo Yezhu 's expression tightened and he waved his hands .

" You are responsible for the patrols tonight and in the next few days . Wait until other swordsmen arrive in a few days and then take a rest . " Tokito Muichiro recited his lord 's instructions with an expressionless face .

Bo Ye Zhu : " Okay , we understand . "​

After a moment of silence , Uroba Nagisa met Tokito Muichiro 's face , realized that Kasumihara had finished his instructions , and took the real person away .

Walking out of the yard , there was another tree- shaded path . Bo Ye Zhu breathed a sigh of relief . Although Lord Xiazhu was much smaller than him , the pressure brought by the genius swordsman was no less .

After walking for a while , he suddenly heard the voice of a child .

" Stop running around — ah— "​​​

A figure flew by quickly , and another short figure followed , passing by not far away .​​

Bo Ye Zhu turned his head and saw a piece of red clothing .

The real person also looked in the direction he was looking .

The curse spirit 's expression darkened .
